Thank you Megan & Rev. Dr. Victor Mackabee, Pastor of New Beginnings Church in Brookhaven, MS, for having me at your Mental Health Resource Fair. If you were there, you heard me speak about losing my sister, a native of Brookhaven, MS, to gun violence. Mental health, including anger, violence, & unhealthy patterns & relationships, isn’t just a healthcare issue. It’s an issue that impacts the entire community, because where do people often go for advice or help? The church.
I would like to thank both of you for bridging the gap between the community/ the church & mental health, & providing the community of Brookhaven with more resources to end mental health stigma.
